First Dance Ideas. What to do? What to play?

First dance ideas

Let’s talk first dances

For over 10 years now since we started in 2009, we’ve been asked the same question.

What should I do for my first dance, or do I need to have a first dance?

Let’s go back a touch… The first dance is a wedding tradition that stems back many years, it symbolises lots of things, but in today’s times it usually means the dance floor is open for business!

Outdoor wedding ideas

But do I need to do a first dance? Nope do you heck, it’s your day so do what you like.

We often get asked. What should I do? Do we have any Wedding tips to help? Well, without further ado, here are our top tips on how to have the perfect first dance to suit you as a couple.

  • Choose a song that’s personal to you, if you love the song then your guests should too.

Some of our faves

    • Stevie Wonder – Signed sealed delivered
    • Colbie Caillat – Bubbly
    • Elbow – One day like this (amazing song, just make sure you invite guests up! 6 mins is a long time to sway)
    • Starship – Nothings gonna stop us now
    • Marvin Gaye – How sweet it is (to be loved by you)

For more wedding first dance ideas see below, but not until you’ve finished reading our blog please

  • Have fun, it’s a lovely moment so just enjoy yourselves, smile and be in the moment.
  • Choose a time that suits you. In the UK we predominately have the first dance in the evening after the wedding cake If you want to be different though, you can follow our friends in the US and have it earlier on. They normally have it after their grand entrance into their meal, or between courses. Has that got you thinking?
  • Alternatively, if you want to separate memories in the evening, choose to cut your cake earlier in the day or before evening food. Then leave your first dance to be a ‘special moment’ on its own, or have it with your father/mother, daughter dance.
  • I want my first dance to really stand out and make my guests go crazy? How about starting slow, then mix in a dance or fun track. You could also have a sax player join you half way through for the ultimate ‘wow’ factor. Check this out for ideas from our Vimeo channel: https://vimeo.com/270178178
  • Why not take your first dance outside (if your venue can accommodate it)? Say what?! Yep, do it! Dare to be different just like Naomi & Jack did Mitton Hall with as photographed by Wambam Weddings

  • I don’t want a first dance! Cool don’t do it! It is your day; you don’t have to do anything you are not comfortable with.
  • Instead, why not have a first dance with all your family and friends. “Ladies & Gentlemen please can I ask you all to join *insert your names here* onto the dance floor as this evening the couple’s first dance will involve you all.”
  • You could add a little extra cuteness… We’ve had clients leave a personal message on their first dance track. A little voice note over the track from you to them. You can keep it a surprise! If you want ‘wow’, you’ve got it!!
  • Do you play an instrument? Add that in to your first dance. Has that got you thinking? Don’t forget we can all play the tambourine.
  • Who says your first dance has to be a dance? Who says you can’t have a dance off for your first dance! We’ve seen it, it’s awesome! Make your wedding go viral!

As always we hope we’ve helped give you some inspiration to create the most amazing wedding day!

💭Want to hear from Polly and George themselves? 

‘I just wanted to pop a message over to say thank you very much for everything you guys at DFC did for us last weekend at Thornton Manor, Lakeside Marquee. 

It was the most amazing day/evening, you all truly make our day everything we wanted AND MORE! Everything has been asking for your details and said that they have never ever been to a wedding quite like it, which I am taking as a good thing. Tom and the Band were just absolutely amazing - everyone loved them! 

You were incredible from start to finish of our day and this whole process. 

Thanks again, 

Polly Atherton (was Sauce) & George’
